Most helpful customer reviews 1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Convinience at a cost By A. Ritter Convenience at a Cost I purchased one of these bits hoping it would be a quick and accurate way to cut tongue and groove joints for mating ¾" plywood to ¾" solid lumber. After several adjustments and setup runs I was not able to achieve tight, accurate seams. The shims included do not offer enough range of adjustment to make snug joints. When looking at an assembled joint from the end a gap is present (the tongue is too narrow for the groove). This gap is especially noticeable if you try to rout any profile (such as a roundover or door lip edge) on the finished end. When using both cutters to create the tongue, the bit assembly is exactly ¾ inch wide. This means that if your stock is even a few thousands of an inch oversize you will leave a very thin strip of wood. It will usually break off but leaves behind a small raised edge that will have to be sanded or scraped off. After scrapping one dining table top, I am returning this bit and reverting back to my old method of setting up a dado head with featherboards. It is more time consuming but the only accurate way I have found to create tight tongue and groove joints. See all 1 customer reviews...
